Gate of God
Page 562The dragon leaped majestically as the clouds soared!
When the golden light took the form of a dragon, pieces of white clouds started appearing in the throne room, engulfing the entire throne room in an instant.
Roar!
A desolate roar could be heard.
Two blood-red circles lit up amongst the golden light. They seemed arrogant and unfeeling. As the dragon soared around the throne room, the red light moved along as well.
Boom!
Sounds of thunder could be heard from the clouds, especially places where the clouds were especially thick. The rumbling sounds of thunder could be heard from the throne room.
Following which, a claw emerged from the mist.
The claw was coated with a chilling metallic surface. It seemed otherworldly, something that could not have been formed by accumulating the natural energy of the earth. It seemed like a ferocious beast, a truly fearsome one.
What a strange scene.
When the twenty black figures saw this scene, they subconsciously lowered their bodies under the immense pressure. Even their weapons seemed to be trembling ever so slightly in their hands.
“What… is this?”
“A real dragon?”
From their perspective, the moment they stepped into the throne room, they were left with no choice. They had to continue on the path they chose no matter how difficult it was.
However, they were still completely stunned when they saw the claw emerging from the mist.
Alas…
The shock did not last long.
They still moved in unison after a moment.
All of them were enveloped in a brilliant glow. This was the hallmark of the Rebirth State. Lin Mubai was facing over twenty Rebirth State individuals himself.
“Don’t be afraid. This is merely father’s protective artifact the Green Dragon Eye. Take note of the two golden light, do not make contact with the red light!” Lin Tianrong stared at the roaring golden dragon above him and retreated quickly behind the twenty black figures.
Green Dragon Eye.
It was the most precious treasure in the Great Xia Dynasty. No one knew its exact power and strength. However, it’s value was definitely way above the ten treasures.
Furthermore, no one had ever seen the true form of the Green Dragon Eye. This was because the Emperor had never revealed its true form to anyone.
The reason was simple…
The Green Dragon Eye was a gift from Ping Yang’s mother to the Emperor.
Emperor Lin Mubai would never allow the courtiers and his children to see such a precious object, much less reveal its true power without a proper reason.
“Green Dragon Eye?” The twenty black figure exchanged glances as they dispersed themselves across the throne room. They pointed their weapons in unison towards Lin Mubai.
“Kill!”
Every step he took, he walked closer towards Crown Prince Lin Tianrong.
At that moment, the twenty black figures also made their move. Twenty shimmering light charged towards Lin Mubai like shooting stars in the night sky.
They were fast.
However, the golden dragon circling above the throne room was faster.
At the moment when the twenty black figures attacked, the golden dragon also stuck out its claw from the mist and blocked the spot right in front of the incoming brilliance.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Consecutive rumbling sounds echoed through the throne room.
At the same time, two beams of red light rained down from the sky.
Strangely…
Underneath the blood red light, one could see chilling fangs similar to that of a real dragon. It looked sinister and terrifying.
“Ah!”
A black figure screamed in pain.
At the same time, a ball of blood-red flame rose in the throne room. It was formed from the complete combustion of the black figure’s body.
That ball of red flame seemed to have risen from the ground, but also looked as if it was emitted from the black figure’s body naturally from the high-temperature combustion.
“Help, help me…” The black figure muttered a few words as a ball of demonic red flames appeared from his mouth, until he could no longer speak.
Thump!
A light thud could be heard.
A charred body then appeared on the floor of the throne room.
The remaining black figures then stopped in their tracks as they looked at their comrade with widened eyes. They were all in shock as they stared at the piece of charred flesh.
He was a Rebirth State individual!
Let’s not even mention a Rebirth State…
Even Supernatural State beings were known to possess extremely high self-rejuvenation capabilities. However, a Rebirth State individual was now instantly burnt into a piece of charred flesh.
How could they not be horrified?
“What exactly is the Green Dragon Eye?”
“What was that demonic red flame just now?”
“Is this the true form of the Green Dragon Eye?”
This was because they had already faced off against the Green Dragon Eye.
For just one round.
But all their attacks were successfully blocked. Furthermore, even one of their comrades died. One of them had failed to survive when they commenced a unison attack.
Lin Mubai did not intend to stop walking.
He still moved towards Lin Tianrong one step at a time. He did not seem to pay any attention to the black figures in front of the Crown Prince.
“Quick, stop him, even if he is the almighty father, he cannot possibly use the Green Dragon Eye forever. Attack him consecutively and we will eventually wear him out!” Lin Tianrong stared at Lin Mubai, who was closing in and retreated a few more steps. He only stopped after stepping onto the ledge of the throne room.
He knew that the Green Dragon Eye was Lin Mubai’s most treasured object.
He also knew that it was the greatest treasure that belonged to the Great Xia Dynasty.
However…
He did not know the full extent of its power. To think that it would be able to kill off a Rebirth State individual while blocking off the attacks of another twenty figures with similar power.
The greatest treasure.
Who would inherit it?
“As long as we kill father, this Green Dragon Eye will be mine!” Lin Tianrong stared at the dragon soaring above and said greedily.
“Onward!” The eagle-eyed figure finally said something. He used his sharp gaze to stare at the soaring dragon as well, though he seemed a lot calmer and composed when compared to the Crown Prince.
He did not retreat.
He did not even move his feet.
He merely stood at his original position and waved to the twenty black figures.
“Go!” The twenty figures were filled with determination upon hearing his words. They then lifted their heads to look at the soaring dragon above as their eyes shone with a bladed resolve.
They did not have any more hesitation…
No one retreated as well.
The shimmering brilliance once again enveloped their body and illuminated the entire throne room.
At that moment, they only had one thought in their minds.
Only one party shall live!
Roar!
The dragon made its move again.
This time, it came down straight from the clouds, tumbling its gigantic body around. The golden scales shimmered with molten fiery, as though a layer of molten gold was just poured over it.
When the dragon appeared, a few purple lightning also struck from within the clouds, heading towards the black figures who were shimmering with brilliance.
Boom! Boom!
A series of rumbling sounds could be heard once again.
Rubble flew across the throne room as the jade engraved onto the pillars and walls fell onto the ground. The thick majestic ground was now filled with craters of varying depths and sizes.
Thump! Thump!
The sound of bodies falling to the ground happened almost instantaneously. Amongst this wreckage, two blood-red light could still be seen, staring silently at the entrance of the throne room.
As the feet shuffling against the gravels echoed through the throne room, a figure bathed in a golden light emerged from the wreckage.
The golden robe was overflowing with brilliance and above him, a dragon soared ever so majestically, it’s pair of blood-red eyes shimmering coldly.
“Unfilial son, do you know, how much I do not want to revoke your title!” Lin Mubai stared at Lin Tianrong and said with an indifferent tone.
“Not revoking my title? Haha, if you do not wish to revoke my title, why would you reveal my secret chamber underneath my study room. If not for the fact that I mentioned mother, you would have already punished me for the crime of collusion!” Lin Tianrong leaned against the entrance to the throne room weakly, though he spoke with conviction and determination.
“Collusion? If I have to punish you, I will punish you for colluding with neighboring countries in a conspiracy to usurp the throne!” Lin Mubai said as he flung something into the air.
In an instant…
A few letters landed in front of Lin Tianrong.
Lin Tianrong was shocked at this action as his eyes flashed with uncertainty. He could recognize the letters in front of him. They were none other than the ones Fang Zhengzhi gave Lin Mubai a few days ago.
This was the exact reason his secret chamber was discovered and was given the punishment of house arrest in front of all the courtiers.
Now, those letters were right in front of him.
He hesitated. However, he still reached out for the letters in the end and opened them. Following which, his eyes widened.
Those letters were like the harbinger of hell.
“How could this be? This is not possible!” Lin Tianrong immediately threw the first letter onto the ground and tore open the second one.
Then the third and the fourth…
It did not take long for the letters that were picked up by Lin Tianrong to once again end up on the ground. The only difference being that they were now torn open.
Lin Tianrong’s expression had also totally changed.
If he was displaying a firm and determined expression previously,
Then at that moment…
He was fearful, extremely fearful of what he just read!
“This cannot be…impossible. This is preposterous, you are lying to me! Yes, that’s right you are a liar!” Lin Tianrong’s voice echoed through the night sky, his face becoming sickly pale.
